I buy cd's to rip mp3's so if I move from one music service to another I have my music.

I use a 100 dollar bill held taught to act as the speaker for old records, then broadcast those over shortwave, then record the broadcast from 1000 miles away and output it on an oscilloscope, which I record a video of, then watch that video in VR with no audio.

A co-worker once told me he wouldn't have sex with Beyonce Knowles if they paid him because she was black and I was like "wow I knew racists are dumb as poo poo but this is like insanely stupid and also why the gently caress would you bring that up on a regular coffee break where everyone else is discussing football" but my boss sacked him as soon as he could so that was good.

Is being paid to have sex with gorgeous black women a thing? and if so, where do I apply?

I thought they might be when I got them home, but the cabs measure 20" high, and the woofer is 10" which tells me from this chart that they're 25s. Maybe for later models they moved the tweeter? They're definitely not the right sized cabs for A-10s. They're smaller than my Large Advents, but much bigger than most "bookshelf" speakers.

Oh actually, they might be A35s! The chart says the grills aren't removable for the A25s, and these have grill clips in the front. I'll have to measure when I get home.

Googling a bit indicates that they may be A-25XLs. Apparently they moved the tweeter to the middle on some runs of them.

I just keep a live orchestra in the backseat of my car.




Meanwhile, content: recent shopping:

Vintage 1970s Snoopy earrings! (I still have some that I got when I was a single-digit Boodlets back in the day)



New (to me) shoes for conferences and otherwise scaring people when I wear power clothes!



Secondhand silk Versace silk skirt with this mad smiling alligator/crocodiles print!



Silver peacock earrings!



New blank journal books picked up at the Kirksall Abbey House Museum!



1930s silk/chiffon butterfly capelet made in Paris!

Blackout curtains in the bedroom are the ultimate power move, especially when you live in Phoenix.

Real talk- how do people live in places that hit over 140 degrees(f)? Is it that noticable between 98 (what my car reads in FL after sitting in the July sun all day) and 140? 140 is like, hey why does anyone, how can anyone, even live here?

No one is going to argue that. The American southwest is an incredible sight.

But living jn Phoenix, where the sun has decided to focus all of its rage?
Screw that. King of The Hill was right. It is a testament to man's hubris.

I live in New Orleans where it frequently gets in the hundred and teens (F) with the heat index in the summer. Being outside is loving unbearable most of the time thanks to the humidity. You just drip with sweat the moment you get outside. And our summer lasts from like May to September, sometimes even earlier/later.

I don't even want to imagine living in places that get even hotter :negative:

They're a must here in Colorado too, keeps it much cooler inside, reduces cooling cost drastically.
